6–10 May 2026
Discover a world-class festival of classical music in the heart of England’s smallest city, featuring all the best of Wells Cathedral’s music — from choral concerts to recitals and a live, improvised film soundtrack!
At the heart the Sound of Wells festival is the Cathedral’s daily rhythm of worship, featuring services of Choral Evensong and the Eucharist, sung by our Choristers, Vicars Choral, Song Squad, Cathedral Youth Choir, and Cathedral Chamber Choir.
Further details, including full programme and ticket information, will be available closer to the time. Please check back in early 2026 for updates.
